The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) is the peak body for Queensland’s tourism sector, acting as the ‘Voice of Tourism’. It advocates for tourism, hospitality, and event operators, focusing on policy development, research and business mentoring to ensure long term sustainability is achieved.  

‍

QTIC celebrated 25 years of advocacy on the 14^th April supporting the Tourism Industry. This milestone was marked by a sell-out luncheon at the Emporium Hotel South Bank, Brisbane. This special networking Event celebrated the people, partnerships and dedication that have helped shape the Queensland tourism and events industry.

‍

There were many inspiring speeches by our tourism leaders including the Hon Andrew Powell MP. The Q & A segment chaired by their CEO, Tash Wheeler and formerly CEO of Tourism Whitsundays, was one of the highlights.

‍

The Whitsundays were well represented by our CEO of Tourism Whitsundays, Tim Booth, Tourism Whitsunday Board members Elizabeth Hackett, Daniel Gschwind and Tom Young together with members Michael and Val Kimpton representing the award winning Airlie Beach Triathlon in the Whitsundays.
